"Idiocy" is too kind IMHO. This man needs to be taken off the air.

The shock jock offers a new plan to stop abortion -- and takes conservative trolling to previously unknown heights
BY KATIE MCDONOUGH

Partial transcript below...:
RUSH: Thats true. Ive often wondered, what is so hard for the left to understand about that? By definition, if you have gun control laws, the law-abiding will be the only people that dont have guns. In fact, the most stringent gun control laws in the country today are DC and New York and theyve got the highest crime rates with guns. Doesnt that tell them something? So it must be something not to do with guns. Its gotta be about something totally different than gun control.
CALLER: I think it does. Its just terrible that 26 people died in Sandy Hook and 20 of them were children. Terrible. Very sad, coming up to Christmas. Hopes and dreams the young children had, their parents and weddings and congratulations that will never occur. However, on any given day in America, more than 3,000 children are killed from abortion, and we have no problems with that. Were okay with that; its not an issue.
You cant spend 40 years telling people and telling children that if I make a mistake if something comes up and this child that I dont want is in the way of my future and the way of me graduating high school, is in the way of me going to college, is the way of me being happy, is in the way of whatever I want out of life then its okay for me to kill the baby. But later on when I become a disgruntled employee, when I become an unhappy student at school because children are bullying me, then I want to eliminate them to get them out of the way? Its the same concept.
RUSH: Well, its a good point. You know how to stop abortion? Require that each one occur with a gun.
